Fluorine and bromine have 7 valence electrons and hence their properties are similar. Neon has 8 valence electrons and the properties are different from that of fluorine.

Something more reactive than bromine. Chlorine or fluorine would do it.


Why are bromine and iodine denser than fluorine and chlorine?

theyhave more neutrons and protons


Which element has the largest atomic radius out of fluorine chlorine or bromine?

Bromine is farther down the group and has more electron shells, making it an element with a lager atomic radius.


Why can't iodine be used to displace bromine from sodium bromide?

Iodine is lower in the halogen displacement series than bromine, i.e., iodine is less electronegative than bromine. However both chlorine and fluorine can displace bromine in sodium bromide, as they are more electronegative.


What elements are more similar to chlorine?

Fluorine , Bromine , Iodine are similar to chlorine. They are non-metals placed in group-17.


Why are bromine and iodine much denser than fluorine and chlorine?

Is fluorine malleable or brittle?

Since fluorine is a gas, it does not have malleability.


Why is it easier to remove an electron from bromine then it is to remove an electron from fluorine?

The reason why fluorine has a higher ionization energy level than oxygen is because it is closer to the nucleus than is oxygen, therefore, it will take more energy to pull electrons from the nucleus.


Why flourine is most reactive?

The thing that makes fluorine so reactive is its electronegativity.


What is the name of electrons in the outermost shell that an atom can gain lose or share with another atom?

A Fluorine atom has an atomic number of 9. Draw out the electron shell diagram for Fluorine. Is a Fluorine atom more likely to gain, lose or share electrons to fill its valence shell?


Which is more reactive fluorine or nitrogen?

Fluorine is the most reactive element period. So, it is therefore more reactive than carbon. However, as carbon forms the basis of organic molecules, people come across its compounds more often.
